Auntie Erica and Auntie Krista couldn't stay away from all this excitement. First thing Saturday morning we took them over to the lot and ran around and took pictures. It was an absolutely gorgeous day and so much fun to show off our project!
This is the basement wall. The frames are still on and the dirt has not yet been filled in - frames have to come off first.
It has created some new kind of fun. Tunnel running. I feel like this is getting slightly dangerous.
This is how thick the poured walls are. Pretty amazing I think. I didn't know how they would be "poured". A house down the street had its basement poured a few days before ours so we got to see the frames for it go on, see the pour and then see the frames pulled off. I was curious to learn how the cement doesn't stick to the frames...Larry explained that the frames are oiled so they come off easily when it's time. Viola.
Oh hi.
Carter and Helena could not stop running around. This is about as good of a shot of them as I could get. Warren didn't really stop moving either come to think of it.
Fionn, need a little help here?
Carter and Helena are standing in what will be our garage. Helena is in the bike garage.
The basement is not a big dirt hole anymore.
The dirt pile still beckons.
